Berlin-Schoenefeld: Mehdorn’s plan will be implemented: BER is expanded – Tagesspiegel

Nearly half a year after the first plans for a low-cost terminal at the new Capital Airport operators have to build now advertised. “The Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH intends in the field of Piers North a new terminal with a total transferee (TÜ) plan and to erect,” says the document published on 20 February.

Intended is the severance of eight million passengers a year, it said in the announcement. From this it concludes a necessary gross floor area of ​​45 000 square meters. “Commissioning is provided 2019.”

The Supervisory Board had decided the additional terminal already on 25 September 2015; Even then there was talk of investment of 200 million euros in the Tagesspiegel. Accordingly, should the contractor “completely at your own risk” work, now writes the “Mirror”. The capital airport itself should go in the second half in 2017 after years of delays; in late summer 2016, the work should be completed at the construction site

Friday’s meeting on BER

Airport CEO Karsten Mühlenfeld thus draws lessons from the fiasco at the Berlin Airport. Unlike the BER should the proposed new low-cost terminal for budget airlines in Schönefeld are turnkey construction – by a “general contractor”, which assumes all risks. After Tagesspiegel search one reason are also residues in extremely tight schedule. The “traffic light” for planned completion in 2019 is yet to red, they say. The supervisory board, which meets for the dispute over the Government Airport next Friday in Tegel for a special session, has given the green light for this route. In February, the airport company posted a first design contract from Europe.



2019 he should be ready

This time it makes the airport rather not himself. By 2019, to be ever ready, if only by a General contractor possible “if at all”, says the Board. The project goes back to the then BER CEO Hartmut Mehdorn.

One reason for the time pressure: only if it is done, can the construction of large new, 350 million euros expensive government airport start that should appear 2023rd but Meanwhile Baufeld collides with parking and apron areas of old Schönefelder terminal A for six million passengers.

Because of the new airport opening will be too small, must be improvised anywhere. In BER Terminal only 22 million passengers can take place once the calculated 27 million passengers in the first years will be released, as many as in Tegel, because there are too few switches and the baggage system is too small. For 2017 already 34 million passengers

are in the NCR but expected.

The FDP tilts Häme and expects ever

No sooner had the news in the market, also came forward promptly the initiators the petition for keeping open the Tegel airport: “the planned new terminal at margins-Aiport BER revealed the full extent of the airport kludge in Berlin,” writes Sebastian Czaja, Berlin FDP leader. “Better can not document that the BER planned much too small and required by the Berlin FDP continued operation of Tegel is an urgent need to.” In addition, according to past experience at BER “extreme caution, primarily affects what cost and completion” is. Czaja concludes with the following comment: “.. The planned EUR 200 million will then probably increase to 1 billion or more, and the planned commissioning in 2019 will be delayed at least until 2022″ (with AP)
